Here he is folks! 20 lbs, 30 inches tall and ready to take on the world! He has a whopping 12 teeth, eats basically anything and everyone agrees he’s a very happy, easy-going guy.
Remember this little sweetie?
Look at him now!
Remember that helpful big brother?
Now he’s helping him get into trouble!
It’s been quite a year. Andrew has already knocked 8 states off his bucket list:
Kansas
Hawaii
Arizona
Utah
Illinois
Iowa
Minnesota
Missouri
He’s flown on a plane and ridden a train. He swam in the ocean and went down into a mine.
And he makes every day wonderful!
We had a fun celebration with friends and family last weekend. Andrew enjoyed his first ever cupcake.
Before
The first bite
He had a lot to say about it,
and felt pretty proud of his work.
Thank you to everyone who has welcomed, loved and supported Andrew over the past year. Though I feel like the first chapter of this adoption journey has come to a close, it will certainly be a life-long journey for Andrew, so keep that love and support coming!
Finally I want to ask you all to remember in your prayers today Andrew’s birth mother. She will forever be a part of our lives and Andrew’s story. We keep in touch with her through email and I know she reads this blog and enjoys seeing updates on Andrew. I know she loves him very much. And we love her for making all of this possible!
